Danburite* - 5.16 carats

Hi Arnold, The ring featuring your 14.23ct tourmaline arrived today. Seeing Joan's delight and wonder at the beauty of this piece is worth the $ you artfully pried from my reluctant hands. The stone is an extraordinary medium-dark green color—remarkably emerald-like— and verifies the accuracy of your pictures and the video—not precisely, of course, but as closely as one can expect of photography. (I now know that the secret to a 70-year marriage is having the recklessness to spend—nearly a third the cost of a college semester—on a breathtaking bauble.) Thanks for never misleading me over more than 30 years of business. You should also be proud that Ron so closely reflected your values. I hope you've found your dream home-by-the-sea, and you're salivating at the thought of moving in.   Best, --Ed, NY, USA, Feb. 1st, 2023
